Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban reveals many organizations received nearly $12,000,000 since former Alabama HC touched down in Tuscaloosa

Legendary coach Nick Saban announced his retirement on Wednesday night after 17 years with the Alabama Crimson Tide. In a statement released by the university, Saban thanked the Alabama community and said he did not measure his success by wins or losses, but by the impact he had on the lives of young men.

One of those lives is his daughter Kristen Saban, who shared a heartfelt post on Instagram about her father's retirement.

She revealed that 'Nick's Kids', the non-profit organization founded by her parents, has donated nearly $12 million to various charities that serve children in Tuscaloosa and beyond.

She shared that her father's generosity has touched many families. This included 20 who received new homes from 'Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa' in honor of each of Alabama's championships under Saban.

Ellen Potts, the executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa, said she was sad to see Saban retire, but also grateful for his support over the years.

She said Nick's Kids has already committed to building another house for the 2023 football team, which will be named the LANK house after their motto 'Let All Naysayers Know'.
